So I stop at this little roadside rest area that night near Pineland tx. I was only one there. Dark. Wind blowing pine trees back and forth. I step out for a smoke. I hear a dog barking and howling in the distance. F this. Jumped in the truck and hightailed up to the truck stop.exhausted379, Tug Toy, Last Call and 2 others Thank this. -
I live in Texas, and there isn’t a genuine mountain in the state, at least anywhere near a highway.

When I first started driving(1980), I drove trucks WITHOUT Jake’s and A/C drove to wherever I was told. My runs always had Mountain/Hills and I never thought about it. That’s the way I was taught to drive. Jake’s back then was a luxury item.

People from Texas are awesome. They may fire pistols in the air, but a more resilient group of folks I doubt you'll find. Either it's dry as a bone, or flooding, or freezing, when I get representatives on the phone, I always ask where they are from, and you can tell the ones from Texas. I think someone wanted your Texas runs and gave you a line of hooey about any hills. Now you come into my state, that takes some training.

I think he was more concerned about getting over the hills between Ohio and Texas than the actual roads in Texas.
